00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 2: For real.

71
00:02:50,160 --> 00:03:04,280

00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,160

76
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: live in person, so it was a cool, like first one.

77
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I went with uh, the

78
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: amhyser Busch family. Uh, you know, Michelobe is like a

79
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: big sponsor, so I went with them. So it was

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: it was a pretty rocking time. I had to wake

81
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: up at like nine am. We took a boat. We

82
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,040

83
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: We drank on the boat only products, so I got

84
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: pretty wasted off. Neutrals went to the Cup. It was great.

85
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: It was long. It took a long time to get

86
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: a scoring.

87
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: You really had an authentic SERI had.

88
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Real soccer experienced. The halftime show was dope to me.

89
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: It kind of reminded me of old Super Bowl half

90
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: time shows. I was like, I think maybe we need

91
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: to go back to.

92
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: That said.

93
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: It was nixy, you know, I'm like, that's how the

94
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: old Super Bowl shows used to be. You get like

95
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: two or three different types of artists. A cute moment.

96
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,760

Speaker 2: he couldn't pull up. I'm all single. It was a moment.

99
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: It was almost to.

100
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 2: Be third wheeling, you know what I'm saying.

101
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Shakira like looked amazing because when she

102
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: died and then the kids with her, it was so much.

103
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: Shakira is still out here. International sounds period. What I mean,

105
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: get up and move.

106
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Let me see them hips, let me period come on?

107
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 2: So bad?

108
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But I was jealous of everybody that

109
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: was there. I was literally so close to where I lived,

110
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: and so I was just like, you know, what should

111
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I mosy on over here? I can't ride a boat

112
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: over so maybe I should just stay my butter at home.

113
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: Which a wealthy so nah man, it was. It was.

114
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: It was a time to be remembered. I won't forget

115
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: I played flip cup on a boat. Yep. Yeah yeah,

116
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a bro in that way, like let

117
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: me let you know, frat game, let.

118
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: Me let your not all soccer games are like that.

119
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: We can't all take boats and flip on our way

120
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: to the game. However, I got to bring you to

121
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: a Goltham game.

122
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, I was hearing good things about the

123
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 2: game this week.

124
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was great. The Queen's Classic was absolutely amazing,

125
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: and it set a record for attendance forty two seventy five,

126
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: I believe. And so that's just a clear indicator of

127
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: how they're going to sell out when they moved to

128
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: the city. Even though I'm still bitter about it, you know,

129
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm a Jersey g right now, and so the fact

130
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: that they're moving away, but if you if you look

131
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: at it, they were able to hold it down, pack

132
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: it out, which is kind of like World Cup period.

133
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: And then there's only a little over three hundred days

134
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: till the Women's World Cup in Brazil. Yes, all the

135
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: things I feel.

136
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,159

00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: to get her there. I don't know if that's legal,

161
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: probably not, but Jade Carrey came in second. But just

162
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: knowing that the podium is just like a bridge of

163
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a gap of generations was really cool. And Sunny Lee

164
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: has now left New York, which has nothing to do

165
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: with Classics, but she is training elite again. She's going

166
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: back to Minnesota. That's where she's from, That's who made

167
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: her the gymnast she is. I'm going to miss her

168
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: in New York. That's like, that's like my girl and

169
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: my little sister. But I'm really proud of her for

170
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: being able to go back to where her roots are.

171
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: And really, if she if you got more to give,

172
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, I know I'm you know I'm pretty old now,

173
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: but if I go back the competitive cheer, I surely would.

174
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: And then our good sister Jordan's Yes released to Leo

175
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: with Nike, and she looked amazing. She's a little model

176
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: we already know, like Jordan has her hands and everything.

177
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: It's fat leg out come on there.

178
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean if I if I had those muscles, I

179
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: would be showing them off to everybody who wanted.

180
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: I sign might slide myself in one of them things.

181
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: I'll hold you to it. That would be honestly, you

182
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: want to talk about comedy, period, And then I have

183
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: you upside now you already don't want to take you

184
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: come anyway. But you know what else she did? She

185
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: walked down that thing and fanatics had her little walkout

186
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: for w W, yeah, saying this is all you.

187
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing that you want to You want

188
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: to make me tumble all tumble, but you got to

189
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: come to a w W match. I'm down and there's

190
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: some big matches coming up. It was a really good

191
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: good time for w W this weekend. It was Saturday

192
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: night main event at Mason Square Garden, which I think

193
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: is only like a second or third time being there,

194
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: and the women's matches were pretty tight. We had the

195
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: women's Tag Team Championship match that was Page.

196
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: And Briabella versus tag Team is what now?

197
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: Tag team is like a two on two, like like

198
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: two on two, yeah, two on two, And we had

199
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: Page and Bribella versus Final Fatal Influence. And I watched

200
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: the match. I was it was it was five match

201
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: they retained about which like means they didn't lose. So

202
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: Paige and where he stayed the champion. I kind of

203
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: wanted to see a belt switch, even though it probably

204
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: wasn't like yeah, I just like, I just you know,

205
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: I wanted to see a little like domination and tradition.

206
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: And then one of one of our w W favorites

207
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: and Faithful Bailey had her match versus Lira Valkia. They

208
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: used to be friends, actually they used to be L's mentor,

209
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: but they have been long time feuding and it was

210
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: just another one of those Lira winning again, beating Bailey again.

211
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, Billy really has got to get it

212
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: together running into Summer Slam, because Lira is on a

213
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: tier and you know, student student, you know, sometimes just

214
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: outshine his mentor and no longer wants to be mentored,

215
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: and then you gotta kind of have those battles play

216
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: themselves out. I mean, it's been a really great storyline,

217
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: but I do hope to see Belly overcome this and

218
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: then I think the biggest story in WW right now

219
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: is Riha Ripley, the Women's Champion is injured. She has

220
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: an actual legitimate knee injury, which means she can no

221
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: longer defend the title, and so what they're gonna do

222
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: is have to get an intimate and champion. So they're

223
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: gonna do a five way ladder match at Summer Slam

224
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: to determine who the new Women's Champion is gonna be,

225
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: and they'll do a few matches up until Summer Slam

226
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: to determine who the five women are compete in that match.

227
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: A ladder match is when they put a ladder or

228
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: you have to yeah, yeah, yeah this is w W A.

229
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: We scale this latter in just the pounce.

230
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Basically, they hang the belt over the ring. You

231
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: have to get a ladder, open the ladder, climb the ladder,

232
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: and get the belt in order to become the champion.

233
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: But while you're trying to do this, there's four other

234
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: women who are trying to beat you up or drag

235
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: you off the ladder or kick you in the face

236
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: to prevent you from doing so. And there's gonna be

237
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: a lot of competitors I think you know who are

238
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: gonna be vying for this opportunity. Of course, we got

239
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: Charlotte Flair, you know, we got Tiffy Time. You can't

240
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: count out Eo Sky, who was the former champion. So

241
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be some exciting weeks leading into

242
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: summer SLIM and I'm super pumped for it.

243
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining you putting on one of Jordan Charles's

244
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: leo's and doing.

245
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: This, oh yeah, getting out there and getting out there.

246
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: You also that makes you think Jay Cargo should be

247
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: in the conversation. It's gonna it's gonna be a good

248
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 2: time for w W.

249
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: If you see us, you know, on the match, climbing

250
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: the ladder and leos. That's my business. Now I learned

251
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: about w W. E thinks just yeah, something else that

252
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: happens recently where the SP's. I know your homie hosted them,

253
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: but there's so much I mean, run it back, run

254
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: it down.

255
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: My boy Marcello Hernandez hosted shout out to him. It

256
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: was just cool to see the homie up there killing it.

257
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: Last year, my friend Shane Gill was hosted. I felt

258
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: like the monologue was great. Marcello got a dope joke

259
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: off on Shane that I thought was pretty funny. I

260
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: just felt like he held the show, and that's hard

261
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: thing to do, so seriously, seriously, seriously shout out to him,

262
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: because hosting, especially for comics who do hours of stand

263
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: up on their own, it's not easy. But I mean,

264
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: we saw the women show up and.

265
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: It's like who stopped the show, But who stopped the

266
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: show for me?

267
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: Yes, Lauren Ben's when I tell you.

268
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Who got dressed first of all, I stunning. I was

269
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: gagged Lauren. Obviously, she has been a great advocate for

270
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: mental health, and she used her platform at that moment

271
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: when she won her SB to advocate for mental health.

272
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was really, really dope. She ended up

273
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: leaving with two and then Alicaly you and Asia Wilson. Obviously,

274
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: these these two have been so great, and I saw

275
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: Alyssa at she weakened too, so she's been jet setting.

276
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: And then Asia just never sees sys amazement.

277
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally, go I like Alyssa a lot. I like

278
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: that she's like a golf girly, Yeah she is. Yeah,

279
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: I think that's so cool to be like a figure skater,

280
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: which is just like posh and prem thing, you know

281
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: what I mean. And she's like a goth girly. She's

282
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: like kind of cool.

283
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, like her stripes, like the piercings and everything. But

284
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy the skaters of the world in

285
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: the Paralympics this year, Like between her and Amberglynn, I'm like, oh,

286
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: y'all are just dope people. Yeah. Yeah, it's just freaking dope.

287
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: And I love that for them. They're really pushing the

288
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: boundaries of what figure skating is and just being just

289
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: uniquely them. And now I want to go get striped here.

290
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought it was so cool that she's been

291
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: in the limelight and she's doing it, like you said,

292
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: like uniquely and kind of authentically who she is and

293
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 2: not falling into like this is what you're supposed to

294
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: look like, because whenever you see someone doing that, it

295
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: just opens the lane for somebody else, you know me.

296
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: So I thought it was super fire.

297
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: Here's to the next generation of women who are skating

298
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: with stripes in the head, someone who's been in the

299
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: spotlight Sam, especially now that you are watching Love Islet

300
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: and so you know who this is. We're so excited

301
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: to have two time paralympian and the twenty twenty four

302
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Paralympic bronze medalists in the long jump who made history

303
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: as the first Paralympian to appear on Love Island. Bay.

304
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: I hats yes, I'm super ampedy for this.

305
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: It's funny because we've seen you at the highest level

306
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: of literally everything this summer, putting Peril on the map,

307
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: putting Bay on the map. We've been following the journey.

308
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: The second you left the villa over here on the track,

309
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: I say, my girl wasted no time.

310
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: Oh zero time.

311
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: You didn't see that in my comments, all these memes

312
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: of like, you guys remember Christ from last season. They're like, oh,

Speaker 4: And then like us in there, I didn't really know

338
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: what to expect afterwards. I definitely knew one thing though,

339
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: is to expect like a lot of like trash talking

340
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: about my leg. I was like that that I already

341
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: like knew even even when I was like applying and stuff.

342
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: I was like, I already know people are gonna have

343
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 4: someone to say.

344
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Like people in the island.

345
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: People No, like it was the real world on the island,

346
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: Like I think they know better. They like they would

347
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: get canceled, and they would get canceled by me and saying.

348
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: I were you at all shocked at how like intense

349
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: it was?

350
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: Like?

351
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: Because I feel like, you know, you go into stuff

352
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: like that, You're like, Okay, I'm trying something new and

353
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: it's a bunch of strangers. But then as I'm watching,

354
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, feelings get real. Stuff gets real. Were

355
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: you shocked at like how like intense it got? Yeah?

356
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 5: I think so.

357
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: My first season watching was last season, and so like

358
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: as a viewer, I was like, oh, no way these

359
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: people feel that deeply. No way, these girls are like

360
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: crying over these guys, Like oh I could never. I

361
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 4: still didn't cry over a guy, but like, well actually

362
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: I cried like at the end, but mostly because he cried,

363
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: so he made me cry.

364
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: Empathy.

365
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: I was just mirroring period.

366
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 4: But like, feelings are very real. It is very valid.

367
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: So when I got in there and I was like, oh, wow,

368
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: like this is crazy, like I could potentially, like you know,

369
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 4: feel like very deeply about something. So like, uh, when

370
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 4: these girls are like crying or feeling a way, it

371
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: is like valid because it's like it feels so real,

372
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: like you're cut off from everything. You don't know what

373
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 4: time it is, you don't know what day it is,

374
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: like you're sleeping next to this person, and like I

375
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 4: don't know the science behind any of it, but like

376
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that like when you're sleeping next to somebody,

377
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 4: you're probably releasing some sort of like you know, hormones

378
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: or like chemicals that like can bring you closer. Because

379
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: like when you're sleep, that's like really vulnerable and to

380
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 4: be able to fall sleep next to somebody you have

381
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 4: to like feel safe. Yeah, And so I'm sure there's

382
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 4: something going on in your brain where you got to like,

383
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: you know, trust this person more things like that. So

384
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of little like subconscious things

385
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 4: that play into how how hard you fall for somebody

386
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: in there.

387
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: So, Baar, we saw you talk on the couch with

388
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Mela about you know, wanting to be soft. Did you

389
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: mean it and what what type of softness were you? Yeah?

390
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think as a female athlete we kind of

391
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: have to be a little bit tougher and just you know,

392
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 4: with all the critiques and things like that and being

393
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: hard on yourself within sport, and like you know, I'm.

394
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 5: Always in my sweats or this or that.

395
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 4: And then being in this environment where we have to

396
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: appeal to men and like be cute and dainty, and

397
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 4: it's like, I'm not into that whole thing.

398
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 5: I don't know how to do that.

399
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 4: I'm not good at that. I'm not good at this

400
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: whole being sexy thing. I'm not you know, like, I

401
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 4: think my personality will carry me through.

402
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.

403
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: Here, thank you, thank you.

404
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 4: But within like this, this femininity I think with men

405
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 4: it is one of those things that is like, if

406
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: you're not masculine enough to make me feel confident and

407
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: safe to fall into my femininity, I will struggle with

408
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 4: it because it almost feels like am I more masculine

409
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 4: than you? Bro like step it up type thing, but

410
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: also like am I being too masculine? Do I need

411
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 4: to be softer? And it's like you know what, No,

412
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 4: there there will be a man that that allows me

413
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 4: to fall into this femininity, and until he comes, it's

414
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 4: like I don't really have to change anything.

415
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: Period, don't change.

416
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: I particularly found like you very interesting because you're kind

417
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 2: of such a badass about it in a way that

418
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: I thought was kind of dope, Like it felt like

419
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: all the other girls were like making like trying to

420
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 2: be nicer, and you were like, yeah, I ain't feeling it,

421
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna bop over here. And I was like, hell, yeah,

422
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: that's how you love Island.

423
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: I didn't even think that she was like not earlier

424
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: around you.

425
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, that's how you love Island.

426
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 4: Like righter, that's that athlete culture.

427
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: Though, That's why because I was like, that's I don't

428
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: understand what people are saying when they're like, maya might

429
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: not be the I'm.

430
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 4: Like, she, that's that's the athlete culture of like holding

431
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 4: each other like, hey, that rep was really bad, bro,

432
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: you need to walk back in Like well, I'll talk

433
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 4: to my like training partners like that. My coach will

434
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 4: be like, hey, b by the way, were you even trying?

435
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 5: Like what was that?

436
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: Don't ever throw away like that again or like you know,

437
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 4: things like that, and so it's like now you're in

438
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 4: this new environment. I'm like, dude, I'm trying to be

439
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 4: who I am and true to myself and like that.

440
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 4: It's just a different world when when athletes can be

441
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: like very critical of each other and like help each

442
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 4: other and try to push each other, they don't take

443
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 4: it like too personally.

444
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 5: But then when.

445
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: You are in an environment where maybe like people aren't

446
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 4: athletes or like used to that type of like criticism,

447
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 4: it doesn't come across the same way, and it comes

448
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 4: across like mean.

449
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's like the same thing being a comic.

450
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: You know, like comic we're really blood to each other

451
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: and we're very like this is what it is. And

452
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: so like when you're around like a non comic community,

453
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: people are like whoa about like being jokes or things

454
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: like that, Like what, I don't know, I don't know

455
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: what I did, you know what I mean? So I

456
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: totally get it, but I really appreciate it. When you

457
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: said that you avoid it take pregnancy like he wasn't,

458
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: I was like, hell, yeah, give it a book, let's

459
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: go crazy.

460
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: I'll just be.

461
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: Saying I'm like covered in pie too. While I'm saying this,

462
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, what.

463
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 1: Do you want for yourself when you navigate the real

464
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: world knowing that it's not all athletics?

465
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, knowing that the real world is not all athletics.

466
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 4: I think that was something that I learned in there

467
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 4: and that I'm trying to put into my everyday life.

468
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 4: I think there there were like lessons that I did

469
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 4: learn with my interactions in there. Yes, I can be

470
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: true to myself, but I can also understand that not

471
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: everybody is the same as the people in my bubble.

472
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 4: So it's like navigating those different kinds of interactions while

473
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 4: still like being who I am and not like watering

474
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: everything down and like maybe holding somebody's hand through something

475
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 4: that I think.

476
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 5: But like, yeah, it is really.

477
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 4: Interesting, like seeing all these things the different.

478
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because like we're getting to know each other, right,

479
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: and so like our personality styles are different, but we're

480
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: trying to we're trying to find that like the synergy, right,

481
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Like you're a blund person, I'm a blue person, you're

482
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: a blund person. And so it's just so fun learning

483
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: about different groups of people that you wouldn't otherwise interact with.

484
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine having a twenty four to seven

485
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: surveillance on me. Like imagine if people watch.

486
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: You twenty four seven, they don't want to do that.

487
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: I kind of do. You came in like you just

488
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: be on and off the plane. It's kind of entertaining.

489
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a little I'm a little

490
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: on and off, a lot of a lot of fartening corners.

491
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: And see, and that's what it is. At least you

492
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: could just have the bathroom for your own privacy. But like,

493
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: what was it like being surveyed twenty four to seven.

494
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: It was like it was it was really interesting because

495
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: it's like something that in that environment, they create the

496
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 4: environment to do a way where like you kind of

497
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: forget about it. So some people kind of like would

498
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: I know that some of the girls and I would

499
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 4: be getting ready and they'd be like, oh, I forgot that.

500
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 4: There's like something around.

501
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, don't forget, don't forget, look at you slipping.

502
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 4: But like it was interesting because it's like you gotta

503
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: you gotta be yourself.

504
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: But also like.

505
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 4: Obviously, like if you got a camera in front of

506
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 4: you all the time, you're gonna know that, Like, Okay,

507
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 4: maybe I can't make the same jokes I would make

508
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 4: with my friends on camera, or jokes like the leg

509
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: jokes or things like that. So it's like because sometimes

510
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: you make people uncomfortable, but then it's like it's kind

511
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 4: of funny to make them uncomfortable.

512
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: So it's like I would be worried about just getting

513
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: too comfortable with that myself, like just getting caught digging

514
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 2: in my nose like I'm saying, you know, just like

515
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: something out of my but just get like too comfortable

516
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: like that main like fear. Yeah, that was my fear too.

517
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 4: I was like, dang, I'm being watched. So now I

518
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: gotta like kind of you know, when you first start

519
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 4: dating guy and you're like standing at his out or

520
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: dating somebody, you're you're at their house and like you're like, oh,

521
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 4: I gotta I'm a little bit different in here because

522
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 4: this isn't my home fully, like like I gotta poop,

523
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 4: go go to the other room.

524
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 5: You know, like stuff like that.

525
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 4: And then like by the end of the week, you're

526
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 4: like the in the glamor room. You're like, yo, don't

527
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 4: go in bathroom number two, and you're ready to be

528
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: in there.

529
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Don't be gad better, Like you know. It's like but

530
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: it's interesting because you've had your whole life to sit

531
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: with the fact that there is a limb difference about you.

532
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: And then when you start creating these jokes and my

533
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: was there any reaction to anybody or even the general public,

534
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: They were like oh.

535
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think uh in there. Like

536
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 4: at first, like when I first made a like joke,

537
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: like everybody was just like like we laugh. I'm like, bro, yeah,

538
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: I'm making the joke like like b yeah. It is

539
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 4: like you can laugh at it because uh bro it

540
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: is funny, like and some people are like, oh, we're

541
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 4: over it, We're over it. It's like all right, well

542
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 4: then don't listen.

543
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: Just don't listen.

544
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 5: Yeah at the end of the day as well, it's

545
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 5: like it's if you were missing, like too, you make

546
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 5: that joke too.

547
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

548
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was about to say. It's like

549
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: it's kind of ridiculous someone to be like I'm over

550
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: It's like you're like, but yeah, I'm the woe.

551
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: That's right.

552
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: I get to like live in this experience as long

553
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: as I kind of want to.

554
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's also low hanging fruits. So if I

555
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 4: don't make the joke, somebody else will And it's like,

556
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: all right, it's different coming from somebody else who is

557
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: not my close friend. It's like, if you're my close friend,

558
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 4: oh yeah, troll me about my leg I want to

559
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: hear how creative we could get. But like if you're

560
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: a stranger, bro, all right, and you don't have a

561
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: profile picture, all right, I see the type of person

562
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 4: you are.

563
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: Like, okay, that's kind of like the eminem eight mile approach.

564
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 2: It's like I'm gonna say everything about myself before you

565
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: can like throw what happened?

566
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean absolutely.

567
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 4: And I also think that like going into this, I

568
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: did tell myself like there's nothing that anybody could say

569
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 4: to me that would hurt my feelings worse. And like

570
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: what I went through as a kid, you know, because

571
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: I had things told to me to my face, like

572
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 4: other kids like acting as if like, you know, my

573
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: missing limb was contagious, like I wasn't. Like kids didn't

574
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: let me play with them because they thought that would happen.

575
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: Or kids would straight up like walk up to me

576
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 4: and be like you can't run, you can't jump, you can't.

577
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: Play with us.

578
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 4: I'd be like, bro, I'm faster than you, and you

579
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 4: you're not even athletic at all?

580
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: Why are you talking about it?

581
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean?

582
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: And I'm still smoking you right.

583
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm out here in like second grade and these

584
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 4: kids are like telling me stuff like that, and it's

585
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 4: like you grow up. And I told my mom like

586
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: even with the bullying. I'll tell my mom. I was like, hey,

587
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: so this girl's blaming me about whatever, and.

588
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 5: Sometimes it wouldn't even be about my leg.

589
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, what that's a freebie, and you're gonna

590
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: bully me about being short? Like dude, but oh you.

591
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: Have on heels. I was like, you were not sure, We're.

592
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 5: Almost I'm a poser.

593
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm for though, you are like very much five ten energy.

594
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: I know every time I like meet people that are

595
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: like I thought you were taller, I'm like, for sure,

596
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 4: I got that period.

597
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 5: I just give tall bed.

598
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm listening to all your your background, right, you have

599
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: an athletic background, you have a Mexican background, you have

600
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: a limb different so the children's bullying background, which one

601
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: gave you your strongest armor?

602
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 5: Probably like being bullied as a kid, and like just.

603
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 4: All the surgeries I went through too, because that was

604
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 4: a mental battle in itself, Like all these kids could

605
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 4: bully me, but I was my biggest bully.

606
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 5: And also like.

607
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 4: Growing up uh being Hispanic or like chicken, because I

608
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 4: am Mexican American. Our our culture is very rooted in

609
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 4: religion as well. So when when you're a kid and

610
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: you don't understand, and the only answer is we'll got

611
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: made you this way. Then you're like, like your mind

612
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 4: is blown. You're just like what, so does he not

613
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 4: love me? Or like so it's very hard to understand

614
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 4: as a kid, and then it makes you feel worse.

615
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: You're not able to process things the way like other

616
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 4: people can. And then especially when you're seeing not only

617
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 4: are the kids treating me differently, but the adults on

618
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 4: the street are staring at me, like in stores or

619
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: things like that. It's like they'll just make it very

620
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 4: obvious that they're like looking at my leg or like

621
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: people will pity me and things like that.

622
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 5: And so that's what I grew up with.

623

00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 4: they've got they got like a bench randomly out there.

680
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 4: It's like, all right, like we only got dumb bells,

681
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 4: not a lot of it.

682
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: It didn't really look like like a real workouts. It

683
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,040

Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: Am I?

00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: Like?

00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 5: Am I safe my couple?

00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 5: Can I be like coupled with?

786
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 2: Like Michael B.

787
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Jordan's Michael Jordan's letter, m.

788
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 5: No, he got sold, gets sold?

789
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 2: Get there, get sold?

790
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: He wasn't he wasn't was.

791
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 5: Man the recoupling low key? Because I got a texture issue.

792
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: So obviously the shows everyone watches women's sports. So who

793
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: is a woman that you have been watching?

794
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say my friend Michelle Wee West. She's a golfer.

795
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 4: She just came back from retirement. I think she's got

796
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 4: her own like golf course now or something like that.

797
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: That she's fucking crazy.

798
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 5: I'm like so proud of her.

799
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 4: And Laurie Hernandez like I love following her. She's also

800
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 4: a friend of mine. And it's just like she's doing

801
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 4: amazing things as well, Like she was just on Broadway, like.

802
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 1: She literally never stops, but that's that education.

803
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 4: And she's getting her education, like she's she's amazing.

804
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 5: Literally love her.

805
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 4: But then like on the track side of things, I

806
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 4: love watching like Tara Davis wouldhall like watching her long jump.

807
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 4: She's like the best is like just watching her like

808
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 4: she's small but powerful and explosive and it's like, oh

809
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 4: my gosh, if I could just like have that much

810
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 4: talent and like just you know, my pinky finger, then

811
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 4: I would have a world record.

812
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: I feel like y'all together would be such a key.

813
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: And Tara's so ridiculous. I love her so much. But

814
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: and Michelle, did you know she's a runner? She ran

815
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: the half marathon with me last year. Huh so distance

816
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: the one you hate. I'm like, literally.

817
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 2: It was amusing.

818
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a tempo runner, Like if it's not tempo.

819
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I can't run. But Michelle was like, yeah, I took

820
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: a break from golf gonna run this half because my

821
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: friend dared me to, kind of like your friend dared

822
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: you to get in.

823
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: Out to me.

824
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: That's how I got on Love Island because yes, she

825
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 4: was like, hey, what do you think of this?

826
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: I'm like, why would I do that? I always I'm

827
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 5: gonna do.

828
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: It, but look at you doing it now. The platform

829
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: is what it is now. She got the chage a

830
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: little bit more expensive round the deck.

831
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 5: Nike Nike Exclusive you guys, period.

832
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Nike Running family. Send me and Sam,

Speaker 4: Real.

Speaker 1: Period period. So like speaking of LA twenty eight, Yes, yes,

837
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: what's next?

838
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 4: I definitely want to meddle in all three of my

839
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 4: events one hundred, two hundred and long jump. It's definitely

840
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: something that's gonna be hard, but I'm gonna put my

841
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 4: head down in work and in on home soil.

842
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: That's like that's three.

843
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and it's in two years that's coming up.

844
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 4: So it's like I really am excited, but like nervous

845
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 4: feeling all the emotions, you know, like coming into that

846
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 4: like it's a huge meat and you're training for four

847
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 4: years just to like have one opportunity. You can't just

848
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 4: like mess it up. It's like four years worth of

849
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 4: stuff if you like false start.

850
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: That's like everyone can watch bea compete today at twelve

851
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: thirty pm because it is the Paralympic National Championship and

852
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: she's got to go, because excellence can't wait for nobody

853
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: locked within her.

854
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 2: It was great to have Ben in the building. She's

855
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: that bad he had come on nowt But she is

856
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: not the only power Olympian we are talking to today.

857
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: Monique Matthews is here period.

858
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: Look at that bright, shining face. Monique Matthews in the building.

859
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: She's a four time Paralympic medalist who has helped lead

860
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: Team USA to three can second of gold medals in Rio,

861
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: Tokyo and Paris, and just recently added more hardware as

862
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: if you didn't need anymore. As for the first ever

863
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: sitting Volleyball World Championships in twenty twenty six, y'all captured

864
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: the first one. Monique, I mean you're so successful, so successful.

865
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's taken a lot of hard work and dedication,

866
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 3: but just year by year, I just try to get

867
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: better to help my team.

868
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, before we get into what it takes,

869
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: what are the emotions after this string of wins and

870
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: knowing that you are so capable of performing at just

871
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: the highest level all the time.

872
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one it meant a lot. Paralympics is obviously

873
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 3: the biggest, but the world has been invading us for

874
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 3: the last month. This is my fifth one and for

875
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 3: some reason we could never capture the gold there. So

876
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 3: to actually capture the gold finally, it was just like

877
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 3: a check off the bucket list. It's just something we've

878
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: been striving for so long and to finally get that

879
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: it means the world old. Like, it's hard to explain

880
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 3: how it feels.

881
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: How did you celebrate after the win, especially with all

882
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: the emotion that you had surrounding it.

883
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 3: Honestly, I was. I was dead tired, Like I put

884
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 3: my all into that game because I was like, we're

885
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: not losing again, like, so I was really tired. Honestly.

886
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 3: We went out to eat to celebrate and then went

887
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: back to the room, showered and laid in bed, just

888
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: taking it all in.

889
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Monique Paralympics shall have un lock, right, gold after

890
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: gold after gold. But when it comes to the World

891
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: Championships that you know, this was a bucket list item.

892
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: So what's the difference between Paralympics and World Championships and

893
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: the stakes.

894
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: Of that, I'm not sure. Like the Paralympics, it's a

895
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: similar competition, like it's just as big. There's actually more

896
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 3: teams at Worlds or sixteen teams. Well, when you get

897
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,959
Speaker 3: to the Paralympics, there's only eight, so it's a bigger competition,

898
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 3: but the worth isn't as much on it, which it

899
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 3: should be because it's harder. Uh, there's actually we played

900
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 3: two more games there, so I think that added to

901
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 3: the exhaustion, where at the Paralympics we're usually played five

902
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: games and at the Worlds we played seven. I just

903
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: don't know why we couldn't get it before, but we

904
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 3: finally caught.

905
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: It, so that nothing matters before. Now now the check

906
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: this is.

907
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: There, right at what point during that gold medal match

908
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: against Brazil, where you like, we got this, we're gonna

909
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 2: be World champions.

910
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: Well, in that I was hoping we were going to

911
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 3: get it in three sets, but then that third set

912
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 3: it just got away from us. And then in that

913
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 3: fourth set, I think we all went into that set thinking, no,

914
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: it's ending now. So then when at one point I

915
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: looked at the score, it was like fifteen to three,

916
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 3: and I was like, Oh, we got this. There's if

917
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: they catch up, Like, there's no way. At that point,

918
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, we're all in. We're getting this done,

919
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 3: and we're getting it done quickly in this fourth set.

920
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: Oh what I love about watching volleyball and sitting volleyball

921
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: is like just the camaraderie. Can you just describe the

922
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: team's dynamic and how y'all are able to just have

923
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: synergy with each possession?

924
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 4: Oh?

925
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get along great on the court, even if

926
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: you know, because we're women, you have fourteen women, there's

927
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 3: gonna be you know, arguments or disagreements. But on the court,

928
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: we're really good at putting that all behind and we're

929
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 3: focusing on each other. And if we see one person

930
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: like not having a good game, the rest of us

931
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 3: will pick up our game to help them. So it's

932
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 3: it literally takes all of us on the court and

933
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: off the court just building each other up to this

934
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: great dynamic that's really hard to beat.

935
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, like for someone who hasn't maybe watched the sport

936
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: or played it, Is there anything you can kind of

937
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: say about, Like what is one thing you don't think

938
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 2: people realize about, like the strategy of the sport.

939
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: It's really hard. So usually the first comments will get

940
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 3: when people watch it, they're like, oh, it's for lazy

941
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: people because we're sitting on the ground. But and then

942
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: if they ever try it, then they're like, wait a minut,

943
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 3: just the complete opposite of what we think. So having

944
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 3: to move on the ground, you have to rely on

945
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: your teammates as well, just because you have to cover

946
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: more grounds, and then it's harder just because you're moving

947
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: with your hands. So being able to rely on your

948
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 3: teammates that they'll have your back or they'll chase down

949
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: a ball for you if you don't get like the

950
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 3: best pass. So it's just it's just a different type

951
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 3: of I don't know, I don't know the word, like

952
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: camaraderie that you have to have on the court because

953
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 3: you have to believe in those teammates.

954
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this team is also qualified for the twenty twenty

955
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 2: eight Paralympics in LA How are you feeling about the

956
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: excitement of playing on home soil.

957
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so excited just going to the games that

958
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 3: other countries. Just seeing their crowd when they walk out

959
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: for opening and closing ceremonies is insane. So I can't

960
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 3: wait to have that at a home game because I

961
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 3: know it's just going to be amplified and there's gonna

962
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 3: be no other feeling.

963
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I can't wait till watch because like,

964
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: obviously Paralympics in Paris were great, but like just to

965
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: have that home court feel must be absolutely satisfying. What

966
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: is one thing that you can add? I mean, I

967
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: don't know how the you know, regulation plays, but are

968
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: there any things that you add to your uniform on

969
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: game days or something that you are superstitious about when

970
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: you have to show up and be all suited in

971
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: Team USA?

972
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: Actually I don't, So I don't like having superstitions just

973
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 3: because if you're not able to do it before game

974
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 3: then it messes you up. But right now, my team

975
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 3: is really into the glitter, So everybody's been putting glitter

976
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: on before every day. It's really cute. But then all

977
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 3: the other countries this past time are like you're leaving

978
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 3: your sprinkles all over the court. Because they're have a

979
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 3: glitter everywhere.

980
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: Here's some USA sprinkles everywhere. God, we would be that team.

981
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: I totally feel like not being superstitious, but like, how

982
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: do you get game ready? Like if not superstition, Like,

983
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: what is your ritual? Like is there some of your

984
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 2: listenings who are you like staring at yourself in the

985
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 2: mirror saying, like.

986
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: I was goal, I'll be wearing all the golds all

987
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: the time. Anyway.

988
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well before this last one, I had a pep

989
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 3: talk with myself saying, no, this is your guys' time.

990
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 3: You're gonna do it. Go out there with no fear

991
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 3: and just do what you know how to do and

992
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: put your all into it. So it's I give myself

993
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 3: a pep talk, and like, you gotta trust in your team,

994
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 3: trust in yourself and then everything will come together.

995
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: Well, Monique, you're one of the legends of the game,

996
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: right and sending volleyball When we think of it, we

997
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: think of Monique Matthews. So when you were growing up,

998
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: what is who is some athlete that you look to

999
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: to maybe you know, aspire to be or just in

1000
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: a different discipline.

1001
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually, growing up I love softball, so I was

1002
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 3: watching all the USA softball games, Uh, like Demonica Abbott

1003
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 3: and all of them, Like she really inspired me because

1004
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 3: I wasn't disabled until when I turned eighteen I got

1005
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 3: in a forklift accident, so I wasn't I didn't even

1006
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 3: know anything. Yeah, I didn't even know anything about sitting volleyball.

1007
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 3: And I never played volleyball before sitting volleyball, so I've

1008
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 3: never actually played standing volleyball, So it brings a different

1009
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 3: dynamic to it because I'm a softball player. My whole

1010
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 3: life turned volleyball player because of an accident, and it

1011
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 3: was a really hard switch. But at least I was

1012
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 3: overhead sports, so the mechanics are kind of there. But yeah,

1013
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 3: I was huge into the softball girls. They were my inspiration,

1014
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 3: Like it was always I always wanted to be on

1015
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 3: the USA softball team. So still being able to be

1016
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 3: on a USA team no matter the discipline, it's amazing,

1017
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 3: like a great honor to it.

1018
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: Let's take it back to an eighteen year old you

1019
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: who just endured this accident. Was sport your first option

1020
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: to cope with it or was it introduced later?

1021
00:47:59,120 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1022
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: Actually, when I was looking for a new prosthetic because

1023
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 3: I was I didn't know what I was going to do.

1024
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 3: I was fresh out of high school. I literally graduated

1025
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: a month before not knowing what I was going to

1026
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 3: do because I was looking at the softball route in college.

1027
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 3: But then when I was looking for a new prosthetic,

1028
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 3: I saw brochure for sitting volleyball and I was like, sure,

1029
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 3: let's see what this is. Because before then I was

1030
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 3: just laying in bed doing nothing. So I was like,

1031
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 3: I need to find something to get me out and

1032
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 3: get me up again. So it actually brought me back

1033
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 3: to who I was able to do the stuff I love,

1034
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 3: which is just playing sports and having teammates and gaining

1035
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: friends through sports. So it actually helped me get out

1036
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 3: of the house and begin my life again.

1037
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: That's such a beautiful like a testament because I think

1038
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 2: like a lot of times in life, in different ways,

1039
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: you know, we have this idea of this plan for ourselves,

1040
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: and then things could happen that kind of send you

1041
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 2: off into a whole nother direction, and sometimes we take

1042
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: that as a complete the turrent, but sometimes it's like

1043
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: you got to just have that tenacity and you'll find

1044
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 2: your way kind of back to yourself in this package

1045
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 2: that you may not have expected. So that's super dope

1046
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: to here.

1047
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: And when it comes to funding your way back, sometimes

1048
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: it's not where your origin was, right, So, like, what

1049
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: lessons have you learned along the way about the power

1050
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: of the pivot? When things aren't written in the way

1051
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: you thought that they would be written.

1052
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 3: You know things are gonna be hard, but hard times

1053
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: don't last. So as long as you keep pushing and

1054
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 3: knowing like you're doing your best to get over the hurdles,

1055
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 3: that the hard time will eventually end and then usually

1056
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 3: you come out on top hopefully, I mean that's the goal, right. So,

1057
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 3: and being in the Paralympic side, you get to hear

1058
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: everybody's different stories from injuries to cancer or even being

1059
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 3: born with it, but they've all had those struggles. So

1060
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 3: then it just makes you feel like you belong in

1061
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 3: this group because you all have experienced like similar situations

1062
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: and you coming out on top with these girls.

1063
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: Sam. Also, we were talking earlier about the yin and

1064
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: yang of life, and obviously it comes with you know

1065
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: the bad, you know, right like some some are the bad,

1066
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of good that comes from being

1067
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: a paralympian. There's a lot of good that comes from

1068
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: wearing tmusa across your chest. So what's the goodest of good?

1069
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: The best of the best that you've experienced being a paralympian.

1070
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 3: Meeting these women, like experiencing what they went through through life,

1071
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 3: and just going on this ride with them, like you

1072
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 3: make the best of friends. Like I've been playing for

1073
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 3: sixteen years, so I have some of the best of

1074
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,479
Speaker 3: friends that I trust wholeheartedly on this team and would

1075
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 3: do any anything for them, and I know they would

1076
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 3: do the same for me. So just coming out with

1077
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 3: these great friendships and being around strong women that are

1078
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: determined to do something and we get it done.

1079
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's awesome.

1080
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: And the show is called everyone watches women's sports, So

1081
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: why should everyone watch sitting volleyball?

1082
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 3: Because we're the best of the best, out strong, it's

1083
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 3: fun to watch. We put on a show, and women's

1084
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 3: sports is more strategic instead of show outy. So I

1085
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 3: think that's why women's sports are better to watch honestly, period.

1086
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: She said, we have gold, honey, she said, we're doing

1087
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: a bit. Thank you so so much for joining us.

1088
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, let me hold a gold sometime soon.

1089
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying that I.

1090
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 3: Like that for now. Thank you so much, thank you.

1091
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: You gotta give a shout out to our guests. We

1092
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: so appreciate their good hair today. That was awesome. But

1093
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 2: let's get into in case you missed it, Paige Becker's

1094
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 2: talking to the media again about black women.

1095
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: The w n b A being the great soul that

1096
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: she always is and frustrat because we already know where

1097
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: Page stands with this whole thing. Right she was raised

1098
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: by a black woman, she has a black family, black friends.

1099
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: She's very diverse in the way she's navigated life. I

1100
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: don't think that she's the one we need to be

1101
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: asking explicit questions about the impact of black women. She's

1102
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: acknowledged it her entire tenure. The SBIE speech that she

1103
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: gave years ago constantly recirculates Page free, Page Beckers from

1104
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: her advocacy is necessarily every single game, right, Like, we

1105
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: know that she's an advocate, we know that she's been

1106
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,760
Speaker 1: on the correct side of history. We know how much

1107
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: she feels and how much she really gives respect to

1108
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: the ones who came before her, and you could see

1109
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: that it's reflected and how much she like dapts everybody

1110
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: up how much she just gets There is not one

1111
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: person on earth that does not like Page Beckers. She

1112
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: is an angel. So I just feel like, yes, it's

1113
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: great that she acknowledged it yet again, but when it

1114
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 1: comes to Page, we know where she stands.

1115
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I also just think it's a little bit of

1116
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 2: a pot stirring thing that the the media is doing,

1117
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's kind of like to

1118
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: keep drilling in on this or to keep especially trying

1119
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 2: to completely make this erase conversation about the contributions that

1120
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: black women have given to the sport that is a

1121
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 2: sport that's played by mostly black women.

1122
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: I appreciate the acknowledgement, and I appreciate the constant need

1123
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: of giving them their flowers, right like, cool cool, cool cool.

1124
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 2: I told you appreciate that, But where she stands. But

1125
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 2: the media could be doing that. They could just be

1126
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 2: doing coverage that does that. They could just be handling

1127
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: it in a way that does that, And this is

1128
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 2: not what they're doing. They're doing a very pot stirring.

1129
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: Messy, messy business. You're right.

1130
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 2: Something else you may have missed that we want to

1131
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 2: celebrate is US women's national team captain Lindsay heaps. She

1132
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 2: made her debut for Denver Summit Football Club, making return

1133
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 2: to the NWSL after four years in France.

1134
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah she did. And what I love about this movement,

1135
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: First of all, shout out to the girlies who are

1136
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: returning to the States because you know, in the past

1137
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: few years the NWSL and overseas play has had it

1138
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 1: some kind of back and forth, but now you see

1139
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: way more crossover. I think it's dope that the NWSL

1140
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: is truly a place for international talent. And also, Lindsay,

1141
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: shout out to Team Captain of US like back on

1142
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: us soul is freaking fire and I'm actually looking forward

1143
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: to I know, the count that we mentioned at the

1144
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: top of the show, but like the countdown to the

1145
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: Women's World Cup, I can't wait be on a boat

1146
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,439
Speaker 1: and flip cupping with you in Brazil. Okay, but yeah,

1147
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: the girls are returning, you see it like with I mean,

1148
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: I know Sam's not American, but Sam Kerr at Gotham

1149
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: FC and just the rich keep getting richer because Gotham

1150
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: is unreal. But they're sitting at the top of standings

1151
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: with Washington spirit. But just the whole, the whole international

1152
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: aspect of it. All. I think it's great. And then

1153
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: the return to the WSL is great because they have

1154
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: stood the test of time. Now they're really a staple

1155
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: league in the United States and that's good for everybody.

1156
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we are just days away from the big time.

1157
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I talking about w NBA

1158
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 2: All Star.

1159
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: This is where you shine, Sam, this is where I shot.

1160
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: You're going to be making jokes all up and down.

1161
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 2: I got Chicago. I got some cool outfits.

1162
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: Oh lord, I'm gonna have to matter flying.

1163
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 2: I got a fresh haircut, you know what.

1164
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: I got a grill aslutely, let's be grilled as we should.

1165
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: Little But you know she's there.

1166
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 2: We got team Coop, we got Team Spoon. They have

1167
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 2: drafted their players. What's your takeaway from this dress?

1168
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: Okay, as I'm looking at Spoon and Coop. First of all,

1169
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: Coop was petty for drafting Angel because she knows that

1170
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: that Spoon's child. Okay. Obviously the allocation with Caitlin and

1171
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: Page came first, and and then there was like a

1172
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: nice little back and forth. But it's it's pretty equally

1173
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: yoke yoked, and I am looking at the synergy that

1174
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: team spoon has with Right and then leash in Asia

1175
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: being together. I know they really appreciate each other. There's

1176
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: a great one two matchup with just such strong point

1177
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: guards and two guards like Courtney Williams. Her mid range

1178
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: is crazy, and then you have like point guards like

1179
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: Olivia and Caitlin. It's so nuts. But then on Coop,

1180
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, Kelsey Mitchell is gonna run everybody down, right,

1181
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how much effort you want to put

1182
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: in an All Star game. But then you got the

1183
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: rebounding Queen Angel and Marina, who if there's a four

1184
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: point shot, is gonna just light it up. She I mean,

1185
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: she knows no range that she can't match. And I'm

1186
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: looking to see if there's going to be replacements for

1187
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: the players who are injured. So I'm on Kelsey plumb

1188
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: watch to see how that's gonna happen. But it's it's

1189
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: a really great, made for cinema type of feel for

1190
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: these teams, and so I can't wait to see who

1191
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: people will be cheering for. You know, Sam, who are

1192
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: you excited to see?

1193
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 2: Ah? My girl man Olivia Miles. I'm super excited to

1194
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 2: see her.

1195
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 1: Throwing the dog was in a yes, exactly.

1196
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 2: The energy and the building.

1197
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait pause, team spoon goggles on goggles because

1198
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: Olivia and Rob will goggled up.

1199
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 2: Well, No, I'm really just I'm really excited to see

1200
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 2: her play. I'm gonna be at the game and it

1201
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 2: will be my first time she in her play live.

1202
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 2: So one, that's just I'm just hyped for that. But

1203
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 2: I just think she's gonna bring the energy. I know

1204
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: she's already a starter, so say she's gonna be a

1205
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 2: breakout star, it's kind of redundant, But I think she's

1206
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 2: gonna have a great game, you know what I mean. Like,

1207
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 2: she is just on fire right now, so I can't

1208
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 2: wait to watch. She's been like the fastest player in

1209
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: league history to reach four hundred points, one hundred rebounds,

1210
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: and one hundred assists and that's only a twenty two games.

1211
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 2: So I can only imagine how she's gonna be rolling

1212
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 2: into All Star weekend.

1213
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: And especially in the All Star Games where the Vets

1214
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: have been here right Like you have an Asian Wilson

1215
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: that's on her team that's been around the block, you

1216
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: have a neck who's been around the Black eleven and eight.

1217
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna want their young ones to shine in. And

1218
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this, Olivia is the rookie of that team,

1219
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: so they're gonna they're gonna make sure she's involved and

1220
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see that.

1221
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 2: And I think she's gonna bring rookie energy. Like we

1222
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 2: we all watch sports, you know that sometimes the vet's

1223
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: come into All Star game and they're just like, yo, you're.

1224
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: Chilling this chilling.

1225
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 2: This is a party, you know what I mean. But

1226
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 2: like she's gonna I think she's gonna she's gonna bust

1227
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 2: out with that energy.

1228
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: Well, lucky for us, we're gonna have a lot more

1229
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: opportunities to see her as an All Star her entire career.

1230
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: Since she's making this type of splash her rookie year.

1231
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: The sky's limit absolutely saying we're gonna be busy in

1232
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: All Star Like, oh, you know you have you have

1233

Speaker 1: in my life. But together, we work really well. Together. Together,
